问题 The Russian cargo ship was sinking. What was the direct cause?
  
A Russian cargo ship with about 30 crew members aboard was in danger of sinking off Russia’s eastern coast while stormy weather interfered with rescue efforts, state-run Itar-Tass news agency said Friday. Ice had formed on the outside of the ship, and the crew was chipping it off. The crew sent out a distress signal, but there was no explanation of the problem23. Because of the severe weather, aircraft can’t be used to rescue the crew. According to Itar-Tass, the vessel is about 90 miles from an oil rig where rescue vessels are based, while a tugboat dispatched from land was still about four times farther away24. The cargo ship had been en route to a fishing area when it experienced problems, the news agency reported. The ship hauls fish from boats to ports.
选项 A、Aircraft.
B、Tugboat.
C、Nearby cargo ship.
D、Vessels at the oil rig.
答案C
解析 推理题。此题所需信息较多。由“Because of the severe weather，aircraft can’t be used to rescue the crew．According to Itar—Tass，the vessel is about 90 miles from an oil rig where rescue vessels are based，while a tugboat dispatched from land was still about four times farther away．”可知天气恶劣，飞机无法用来营救船员，营救船只在90海里以外的石油架，派去营救的拖拉船还在360海里以外。
